Translation of chin in German

The place was really modern and the food was excellent. We later found out that the restaurant belonged to a chain with the same name and was present all over the country and pretty popular.
We were not the only tourists, there were a many boats sailing on the same route. At one point the driver stopped the boat and immediately children of the village people approached us.
At the third or fourth guesthouse we finally took a room. Of course the hot water would not work, and luckily we were upgraded to a terrific, huge room with balcony and garden. It was a very charming place.
